The following guide shows how to install TPlayer on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android devices.
TPlayer is a video player that integrates with many streaming apps for an improved viewing experience. This includes TeaTV where TPlayer is the preferred external media player.
This works similar to MX Player, which is commonly used on Android-powered devices for those familiar with that video player.
TPlayer can be installed on most streaming devices including the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV/Google TV boxes, tablets, phones, and more.
While this app is available in the Google Play Store for Android TV/Google TV, we don’t recommend installing from here since you aren’t getting the latest version. And for those using Fire TV we must side-load TPlayer since it’s not in the Amazon App Store.
How To Install TPlayer on Firestick & Android TV
In this guide, we are installing TPlayer on an Amazon Firestick 4K Max, but these instructions also work on Android TV/Google TV devices.
Note: This app does NOT work on the Fire TV Stick Select model. This device does not run on Android OS and instead uses “Vega OS” which is Amazon’s in house platform.

TPlayer Features & Details
Users often find that streaming apps buffer when playing content through default media players. Using an external video player like TPlayer is a great way to reduce those buffering problems.
TPlayer also supports a wide range of video formats including MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, Ogg, FLAC, TS, M2TS, and more. You won’t need a separate app to convert files before watching them.
This is also a lightweight video player at around 33 MB and runs well even on older or budget devices. It can automatically scan your device storage and SD card to identify all video files, organizing them into folders based on their source.
Final Thoughts from Troy
TPlayer remains a reliable external video player for anyone looking to improve playback quality on a Firestick or Android TV device.
If you struggle with buffering or ads in your favorite streaming apps, this is worth a try.
